For me this is too jerky to be satisfying.

Numberphile did a series of videos on this a couple of weeks ago.

They did an interview with the authors of the paper as well. Good stuff.

Yes, thank you Data

Someone who's worked their entire life to not only become trained as an astronaut, but actually go on a space mission. What do you think they prefer? Going home today or staying another few months on an actual space station?

Besides the first all electric train bit, which is nonsense, it also touts the capacity of the train. It has 120 seats, which may be mind blowing to car heads, but for a train is rather on the low side. Regular passenger trains often have over 200 seats and many have more seats for the same length. For busy pieces of track 600 seats per train aren't unusual.

It really is like the author has never heard of trains before and has his mind blown by the concept.

Personally I think putting in batteries is kinda dumb, trains need so much infrastructure already and it's fixed in location. Adding a power delivery system (like overhead power lines like most electric trains have) is really easy. That way a lot of weight is saved, thus making the whole thing more efficient. You also don't need any special materials to make it, compared with huge batteries. And the wear components are a lot less expensive to replace.

The light up eyes is a good little touch

They are getting downvoted because they are making a bad faith argument. They state banning a for profit website for not complying with the laws is somehow equal to censorship, this is obviously not true.

Who the fuck cares? Once you commit genocide, you are the bad guy. It can be fucking Santa for all I care, if he starts bombing a country to hell, that sleigh is coming down.

Yeah but this is referencing the movie trope where the person has a fully stopped heart and they shock it back to life. In reality applying cpr is just keeping the blood pumping to supply the brain with oxygen in the hope the body restarts the heart itself. That's why modern defib machines check the nerve impulses to see if shocking it would help. Of there is no heartbeat, it won't help and will refuse to shock. Once the body restarts the heart but the rhythm isn't correct shocking can help. The shocks also aren't huge shocks where the person violently lurches up and putting in more energy won't help either. The machine checks the rhythm and applies a series of shocks to help the nerves regain their normal pattern and thus tell the heart to pump in the right sequence and speed. Just randomly zapping will probably do more harm than good.

It's pretty nice the emergency defib machines we have all over the place these days are smart enough to help without needing to know how it does their thing. Because 80s and 90s TV and movies have muddied the water quite a bit.

People call 911 because they are having a medical issue, cops show up and shoot them and their dog, plus the neighbors dog for good measure. Shitheads actually attempt a coup, try to hang congress people, invade government offices, somehow only one of them gets shot. It makes 0 sense.
